 sub-subseries
Identifier: Coll-37/C.82-C.105
Scope and Contents From the Sub-Series:

Appleton's original labelled folders do not appear to have survived for the early research; those which are included here (Coll-37/C.94, C.97-C.99) are mainly from the Edinburgh period. Much of the material in this sequence has been assembled from loose papers. Appleton's own research ideas, discussion papers and drafts occupy Coll-37/C. 56-C.81 followed by an approximately chronological sequence of data and correspondence (Coll-37/C.82-C.105).
